Man, those look really good! What is your recipe and cook times?
For years and years I made my own pork rub, only for pork. It got rave reviews and I was going to sell it with he help of an Italian buddy of mine who was going to make it in his restaurant... Long story short just for grins I picked up a rub from Aldis...
Someone already makes my rub... my wife licked her finger, tasted it and said, "THAT IS YOUR RUB!!!"
The only thing different is Turbinado sugar and i used brown. I bought 15 bottles and I don't have to make pork rub anymore.... Don't judge a rub buy it's maker.... that's a good freaking rub!! (for pork, I won't use it on anything else)
SO, back to Timmy's query:
>use a ton of rub on all sides and edges of each steak, let it sit for as long as you can stand it...
>low at first for an hour (like we do with most meats now to get the smoke)
>then HIGH till they start to have burnt edges and become stiff(300°)
>After last flip, BBQ sauce the top only, cook the sauce till thick then remove and "PAN" them
>put BBQ sauce and a little water in a large foil pan, coat the whole bottom
>place each steak in the sauce with that top still facing up
>cover tight with foil, 2 small slits for minimal steam escape
>cook as long as you can at 250°.... the longer the more they melt in your mouth...
I've been known to keep them going for 3 hours covered... Today I was impatient and they weren't the best I've ever done.
BEFORE Traeger, they would go into a Turkey Roaster on 250° and I wouldn't stop till they were burning on the bottom.
optional: >put back on the grill just to thick the sauce up and EAT
If you close your eyes you should be smelling and tasting "pulled pork" cuz that's really what they turned into. (same cut of meat)
